Heyman: Execs have no idea why Scioscia still employed

I agree the pitching staff isn't that good.  Maldonado has done a great  with the pitching staff.  He is not the best player on the team, but I think he is the MVP on the team. This is not a W.S. team.  They can slug with any team. I really hate the second wildcard. Some Angel fans are happy with the opportunity to make the postseason with .500 club. One day the Angels will win 98 games and be a wild card team. The other wild card will have 80 wins. Then all cry babies will come out. Scioscia has had plenty of chances in the postseason. I don't blame him for all the bad playing, but he hasn't helped. Why is he still the manager ?

Since the ASG, we are averaging more runs/gm than the Astros. We also have a better record. 

We are also averaging more runs/gm than the Yankees since the ASG.

Please do some research before you post any more of your crap. We would all appreciate it.

I'm looking forward to reading the posts of these people during Mike Scioscia's Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

They'll be priceless.

...and yes, sooner or later, that day will likely come and he will join the HOF.

This team cannot slug with even 10 other AL teams as a matter of fact, people say this offense is so good well... where is it?  I see the Twins scoring 16 runs, the Astros scoring 15+ runs half the season, the Indians and Yankees too.  On top of that Trout can't hit in the clutch and don't tell me he doesn't get pitches to hit, he gets meat balls even with RISP.  Something is clearly wrong with Scioscia's methods, he drains the talent and energy out of players.

Oh God, Scioscia is now to blame for Trout not hitting in the clutch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Other things Scioscia is at fault:

Global Warming

Isis

The Election of Donald Trump

Antifa

Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma

and North Korea building missiles

Ha. Yep, I'm feeling the burn.

the best part was him thinking the whole "count to 20" thing was witty. 

Little does he know that I'm rubber and he's glue . . . 

[red321]

So I'm confused....if a blind squirrel finds a nut once in awhile, are you saying Scioscia is super duper blind, and deaf, and no sense of smell?

Zero postseason wins since 2009, I blame that on Scioscia. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while:

and the only POSSIBLE explanation for that is the manager.

You can blame whoever you want.  Its your opinion.  And i can think your opinion is sh@t.  You can do the same to me.  Isnt freedom a wonderful thing?

Nice  to see your posts. I had to mention the squeeze play Scioscia called against Boston in the postseason 2008. Stevie Wonder and  Andrea Bocelli saw that play coming. 

 

I disagree with all your posts.

Kudos to mentioning Bocelli. Nice pull.

"one of Mike Scioscia's great managing jobs..."

[Blarg]

Bob quit being an ass. The Astros are a better built team than the Angels and a hell of a lot better than the A's. They are not leading the division because they can't beat the A's. They have a 13-7 record vs the A's. 

Middleton just went down with a arm injury, maybe a torn UCL which again rips apart the bullpen continuity for the dozenth time this year. There is hardly anyone left to go to anymore and your flapping your ass cheeks about the A's having a four game winning streak in a season they are 19 games under .500.

Call it a season bitchopotamus, you've completely out lived your welcome. You pulled this shit on the OMB because there were no moderators but here, we talk baseball and not fixate on one subject and beat it to death in every thread. You either find another subject to discuss or another message board.

[Ochocinco!]

He'll get an extension this offseason 

[GrittyVeterans]

Scioscia needs to be fired. He's not a bad manager by any stretch of the imagination. But you just can't keep missing the playoffs every year and not make a change. We've made it to October one time in the last 8 years. Time's up.

He's an average manager at this point that will probably get a job the minute we fire him. But oh well, gotta do what's best for this team

[Blarg]

You actually think he has had a truly competitive team more than twice since 2009? 

[Angel Oracle]

Not putting any blame at all on him, just wanted to say that they did contend for, or make the post-season, 4 times from 2011-2015 with 86, 89, 98, and 85 wins in those 4 seasons.

It's really only been these past two seasons, with great reasons why, where they strung consecutive mediocre seasons this decade.

Managers get canned a lot quicker while having a lot less than Scioscia has had since 2009.

Yes they do.  Not a lot of them get fired in the middle of ten year contracts, obviously.  Also, why fire someone for having a team that has had a ton of flaws for the better part of a decade, when it wasn't his job to build the team.  If in 2012 he had a year or two left maybe he gets fired, that was a good team.  In 2014 same deal.  This year, maybe.

A ball boy could have managed the team and got the same results since the Angels were not a competitive team more than twice since 2009. Arte flushed another 50 million down the drain.

Funny, I though 86, 89, 98, and 85 wins in FOUR of the 5 seasons from 2011-2015 was very competitive.  They were in post-season contention in September in each of those seasons.

Probably because they got nothing out of what they had.

What he's done?  You do know Eppler is the one who has brought in those pitchers like Bridwell that have helped keep this team in contention, not Scioscia, stop giving him credit for something he has no influence over.  It's Eppler who controls the roster and he's done a fine job of giving Scioscia the tools needed to compete.

Interesting.

I guess that means people who post about Scioscia's influence are wrong. It'll be nice to see you set them straight when they do so in the future.
